This is reproduced in Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04 and 16.10, when I type "é" in shell or any editor (vi, nano, ...), ubuntu prints "é ".

Could someone explain me how to get rid of this ?

UPDATE :

  • When I say I "reproduce" on different versions of Ubuntu, it's only by opening a terminal on my desktop Ubuntu 16.10, so I guess only this one has the problem.
  • The font is the default font, if I change the font, it doesn't resolve this problem

  • Try to switch to some other font and check if the problem is still present. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Feb 10 '17 at 19:59
  • What language, what font, what keyboard layout? – user3169 Feb 11 '17 at 07:37
  • @GunnarHjalmarsson Ok, I tried, see my update – Tristan Feb 13 '17 at 14:19
  • Cannot reproduce the problem. Please describe in detail what keyboard layout you are using and how you are entering the character. – AlexP Feb 13 '17 at 14:37
  • it doesn't look related to the input method because apt logs will write for example : "fichiers et ré pertoires dé jà installé s". In the upper right menu, I've tried to switch to "En", and then when I display french man pages with accents, the problem is still there. – Tristan Feb 13 '17 at 14:53
  • Please show the output of env | grep '^\(LANG\|LC_\)'. – AlexP Feb 13 '17 at 14:56
  • When I type "locale", everything is set to "fr_FR.UTF-8" except LANGUAGE which is "fr_FR". Your command displays "LANG" and "LANGUAGE". – Tristan Feb 13 '17 at 15:02
  • I narrowed the problem a bit : it doesn't happen with xterm or konsole, only with gnome-terminal. Is there a way to reset gnome-terminal settings to default ? – Tristan Feb 13 '17 at 15:30

Ok I get it.

Since it was related to gnome-terminal only, I tried to reset all gnome-terminal settings.

I passed this command and my gnome terminal was cured :

dconf reset -f /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/

Note : the following command did no error but did not work for my problem :

gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/gnome-terminal
